A. Excessively opening the door will cause the breakdown.
B. Handle with care as shutting the door.

1. POWER CORD

- Be sure the power cord is connected to the proper voltage, and amps
should be run before connecting power cord to outlet.

- A protected circuit of the correct voltage and amperage must be run for
connection of the line cord.

- Unplug the unit, whenever performing maintenance functions or cleaning
the refrigerated cabinet.

- Compressor warranty is void if burnt out due to low voltage.

2. RE-STARTING

- If unpluged, wait 5 minutes before re-starting.

INSTALLATION

1. GOOD AIR CIRCULATION

- Do not place any object that will restrict air flow in front or back grills.

- Turbo air highly recommends that there is ample space in rear of unit. 3 inches or
more is best.

2. PLACE ON STRONG GROUND

- Be sure the location chosen has a floor strong enough to support the total weight of
the cabinet and contents.

3. DO NOT PLACE NEAR HEAT

- Be sure to avoid hot corners and locations near stoves.

- High ambient temperature will make cooling efficiency lower.

4. INDOOR USAGE ONLY

- Be sure to install this unit indoor, so it will not get wet from the rain.

5. STABILIZING

- Make sure the unit is installed in a stable condition.

6. LEVELING

- Be sure that the unit is level from front to back and side to side.

7. Do not plug in with other units on same breaker.

8. Do not run on extension cord.

CLEANING

Before cleaning, unplug the unit.

1. CLEANING THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR

- The interior and exterior of the unit can be cleaned using warm water with soap.

- Do not use an abrasive cleaner because it will scratch the surface.

2. CLEANING THE CONDENSER FINS

- To maintain proper refrigeration performance, the Condenser coil must be free of
dust, dirt, and grease.
This will require periodic cleaning. Condenser fins should be cleaned at least every
three months (90 days) or as needed.

- To clean condenser, unplug the unit. Condenser can be cleaned with vacuum, brush,
or CO

2 (high pressure air).

3. CLEAN THE GASKET

- The door gasket should be cleaned frequently to maintain proper sealing.

4. CLEAN THE DRAIN PAN

- Empty the Drain Pan which is located under the unit, periodically.

- When reinstalling Drain Pan, make sure Drain Hose is placed back in pan.

5. CHECK AFTER CLEANING

- Plug unit back in.

- Check that the unit is operating properly.
